UNITED STATES SAMUEL M. KASS, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.

CLIP BRACKET FOR CURTAIN RODS.

Application filed September 1, 1921. Serial No. 497,632.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, SAMUEL M. Kass, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Clip Brackets for Curtain Rods, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to clip brackets for holding and supporting the ends of curtain rods.

The purpose of my invention is to supply a clip bracket that may be adapted to fastening against a vertical wall irrespective of whether or not the wall be parallel or perpendicular to the length of the curtain rod; or that may fasten against a horizontal surface parallel with the curtain rod irrespective of whether or not the horizontal surface be above or below the curtain rod.

A further purpose is to supply a right bend bracket, one inner face of the right bend carrying a spring clip for holding and supporting a curtain rod, the other inner face forming a butt stop for the end of the curtain rod and both faces having holes for fastening the bracket against a vertical or horizontal wall.

Further purposes will appear in the specification and in the claims.

I prefer to illustrate my invention by only one of the forms in which it may appear, selecting forms which are efficient and inexpensive and which at the same time well illustrate the principles of my invention.

Figure 1 is an assembly elevation showing two brackets in vertical corners supporting a curtain rod above the window.

Figure 2 is a perspective view illustrating my clip bracket.

In the drawings similar numerals indicate like parts.

My bracket clip is a right-angled bracket, one face carrying a spring clip, that, for a short longitudinal distance, graps the curtain rod on opposite sides near its end and afiprds a butt stop for the end of the curtain ro The spring clip is made integral with the bracket as in Figure 2.

In the drawing 7 and 8 are two l of the curtain rod 10. I show holes 11, 12,

13 and 14 through which the bracket is held in place, respectively against a wall parallel to the curtain rod or against a wall perpendicular to the curtain rod. The bracket may be supported through holes 11 and 12 or 13 and 14, or simultaneously through all these holes, according as the wall by which the bracket is supported is parallel with the curtain rod, perpendicular to the curtain rod or is a corner of two walls, one perpendicular and the other parallel to the curtain rod.

The clip 9 is of spring material, and is shown integral with the face 8. The whole bracket is made of suitable spring material from which the bracket and clip are stamped 1n one operation.

It will be evident that my clip may be adjusted to suit any length of curtain rod irrespective of whether the wall at the end of the rod be perpendicular to the rod or parallel with the rod or whether the bracket be intended to fasten to a horizontal surface above the bracket or to a horizontalsurface below the bracket.

It will be obvious that all or a part of my invention may be presented in other forms as appeals to the whim or need of those skilled in the art; and it is my purpose to include all such forms within my invention as come within its reasonable spirit and scope.

Having thus described my inventon, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A bracket having two sides at right angles to each other, one supporting the curtain rod and the other forming an abutment, for the end of the rod, in combination with spring clips integral with the curtain rod holding side, the clips having spaced spring portions, connecting members and a-hollow center, and holding means for securing the member to a wall, balanced with respect to the spaced spring portions, corresponding in width with the opening between the spring portions and cut therefrom.

2. A bracket comprising two portions at right angles to each other, one affording support for the curtain rod clamping device and the other an abutment for the end of the rod, fastening extensions from the supporting portion on opposite sides thereof, spring clips integral with the supporting portion at the top and bottom respectively each hmv'ing parts :on opposite Sides (if the fastening extensions, turned toward each other to give greater elasticity, cut out between the parts to a length and width corresponding with the fastening devices and connected across the ends to cause the parts of each clip to move in unison.
